Description

The photograph looks into a rock-cut tomb chamber with a rough, curving wall and ceiling. On the soil floor, a cluster of flat stones lies in the middle, and loose bone fragments are scattered in the lower right and along the right-hand wall. No people are visible, and the floor is dusty and partly in shadow.
